Beckinsale will be back for the fourth film, but it may be her finale.

Selene is back, but not for long, Underworld fans.

Bloody Disgusting just reported that Kate Beckinsale is confirmed for her role in Underworld 4, the franchise's upcoming 3D release. While she is officially attached to the film, sources state her role is significantly smaller.

This scaling down of Beckinsale's role seems to confirm the news IGN reported this past February. It appears as though Selene will relinquish her responsibilities, passing them on to one of her daughters.

The vampires-versus-werewolves film also has a new release date, pushing the flick from its original September date to January 20, 2012.

Directed/produced by Beckinsale's husband Len Wiseman, it also appears as though the film will follow suit of previous Underworld releases with a January debut.
